What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/
aimsThe aim of this study was to investigate the indications, technical and clinical success, and complications of the endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC) via a permanent access loop (PAL). MATERIALS AND
methodsTwenty patients who underwent ERC through PAL between 2009 and 2017 were included in this study. The technical success was described as achieving access to the bile ducts through PAL and the clinical success was described as the clinical and laboratory improvement of the patients after the procedure.
resultsThe study was performed with 20 patients. The median follow-up duration was 24 months (3-96) and the median number of ERC sessions was 3.9 (1-10). The most common ERC indications through PAL were stones (40%) and cholangitis (30%). In 16 patients (75%), anastomotic or branched strictures were observed. The improvement of strictures via intermittent stenting and dilatation was observed in 6 patients, but no improvement was observed in 5 patients. The treatment of those 5 patients continues. In this study, the technical success was 100% and clinical success was 85%. While no mortality due to PAL-mediated ERC was observed, free wall perforation was seen in one patient who was referred to surgery.
conclusionPAL-mediated ERC procedure is a technique with high technical and clinical success and low complication rate in patients who require frequent percutaneous procedures and those with difficult access to the biliary tract.
